Message:: [QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 3210294, member: 75143"]2007 series Cambodia 2000 Riel. This is currently worth around $0.50, at the currently accepted exchange rate of 4000 Riel to the dollar.Although the exchange rate does fluctuate significantly day to day, the locals just make it simple and call it 4000 to 1, in all places except electronic or bank transactions. The obverse features a very very neat place. This is a main structure from the temple complex of Preah Vihear.This is located on a beautiful mountain right on the Cambodia-Thailand border. In fact, you can look right across the river into Thailand!!Getting here is a bit tough, you have to take a car to a truck stop place where you get on the back of a very precarious moped. The moped goes up and down extremely steep slopes of what seemed like 60 percent grades. It was honestly terrifying but the moped driver was very skilled. I was just worried about falling off the bike.[ATTACH=full]833366[/ATTACH] Here's a picture my mother took of what I believe is the exact building represented in the note. I am the small figure on the left, walking away.[ATTACH=full]833368[/ATTACH] The reverse features a very communist-looking workers paradise scene, with the main Angkor Wat complex in the background.[ATTACH=full]833367[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
